Inside and out

The U509A1 upper is made from a combination of leather and textile: leather panels add stability and durability to the shape, while textile elements improve ventilation and make the fit feel more “lively.” The inner lining is designed for long wear — the sneakers feel comfortable throughout the day and work well across different seasons.

Construction details:

• Mixed leather-and-textile upper for a balance of durability and lightness.

• Textile lining for a softer feel against the foot and better airflow.

• Secure lacing that locks the foot in place and helps customize the fit.

• Practical outsole for a confident step in urban conditions.

The New Balance 509 x Do Hee Kim Black/Gray silhouette looks clean and neat, while the materials hold their shape well and are built for regular wear. Thanks to a successful mix of textures, the pair stays comfortable in warm weather and during the transitional seasons, and in an “all-season” format it’s especially valued for its versatility and low-maintenance nature.
